Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Looking back at the court, the game has entered a white-hot stage. The matchup between the Nets and the Lakers is like a silent battle, and every inch of the field is filled with gunpowder.

At this moment, with less than two minutes left in the first quarter, the Nets were attacking with the ball. Rose stood at the top of the arc with sharp eyes. He stared at Porzingis in front of him. There seemed to be an invisible bond between the two, connecting their tacit understanding.

"Pick and roll!"

Ross growled, his voice filled with unquestionable determination.

Porzingis immediately understood, and his huge body blocked Rondo's defensive route like a wall.

With the help of this perfect cover, Rose shook his body and easily got rid of Rondo's entanglement, like a slippery fish getting rid of the constraints of a fishing net.

However, just as Rose was about to make a charge towards the basket, James rushed out from the weak side like a ghost. His huge body and keen defensive awareness instantly blocked Rose's breakthrough route.

Rose's heart trembled, but he reacted extremely quickly and immediately passed the ball, targeting LeVert who was facing James.

After LeVert received the ball, he was about to launch an attack, but the Lakers' defensive rotation ran like a sophisticated machine.

Rondo, who had just been passed by Rose, ran to LeVert as soon as possible. His cheetah-like eyes stared at LeVert, as if he wanted to take in all his moves.

Faced with Rondo's tight defense, LeVert did not choose to break through by force. He knew very well that in this situation, forcing a shot would only put himself in a more passive situation.

So he decisively passed the ball back to Rose, and the Nets' offensive focus returned to Rose again.

Seeing this, James immediately took a step forward and started close defense.

His hands were like iron clamps, tightly controlling Ross's every move, as if to strangle all his offensive intentions in the cradle.

However, Rose's dribbling was extremely steady. His hands flew like a magician's and his fingertips ball-control technique was perfect, giving James no chance to steal the ball.

Rose used his skillful fingertips to control the ball and kept looking for opportunities, his eyes revealing determination and persistence.

He knew that at this critical moment, any mistake could change the course of the entire game.

Therefore, he must remain calm and find the opportunity to break the deadlock.

The continuous dribbling between the legs eventually shook James' defensive center of gravity. Every move of Rose seemed to challenge James. There was a kind of mockery in his eyes, telling James with his actions: "You can't defend me!"

Time passed by minute by minute, and there were only 5 seconds left in the attack time.

A strong fighting spirit surged in Ross's heart. He knew that this was his moment and this was his stage.

He must seize this opportunity and open the door to victory for the Nets.

Suddenly, Rose made a drastic change of direction, his body twisted like a flexible snake, and instantly passed James' defense.

James immediately moved sideways, trying to block the shot, but Rose was prepared.

He changed direction in front of his body and dribbled the ball behind his back, completely shaking off James' defense in the opposite direction.

At this moment, Rose seemed to have become the master of the court, and every move he made was full of confidence and composure.

At this time, there was no one in front of Rose, so he immediately accelerated and rushed towards the basket like a cheetah.

He was so fast that he broke the silence on the field like a bolt of lightning.

More than one meter away from the basket, Rose jumped up and raised his right hand high, as if he wanted to embrace the entire sky in his arms.

"Shh!"

There was a crisp sound, and Rose's shot hit the backboard. The basketball passed through the basket like a meteor and fell steadily into the net.

At this moment, the entire Nets bench was boiling with excitement. Nets fans were cheering and going crazy for Rose's wonderful goal.

After Ross landed, a smug smile appeared on his face.

This goal not only scored two points for the Nets, but also injected a strong morale into the entire team.

He used his actions to prove the strength of the Nets' second lineup and their ability to compete with the Lakers' starting lineup.

The Lakers players looked a little frustrated, as they knew that this defensive mistake gave the Nets a chance to catch their breath.

A helpless look also appeared on James' face. The last round seemed to make him see the peak figure of Rose.

The atmosphere on the court became tense again. The matchup between the Nets and the Lakers was like a silent battle, and every detail was full of gunpowder.

The Lakers' offense surged like a tide as they switched from offense to defense, and James responded quickly.

With the help of his teammates' screen, he was like a nimble snake, replacing the opposing defender with the big center Robinson.

Robinson has a sturdy build and stands like a mountain in the interior, but he seemed a little caught off guard by James' flexible position switching.

After James switched to Robinson, he did not rush to attack, but dribbled backwards and retreated to a position two meters outside the three-point line.

His eyes revealed a calmness and composure, as if everything was under his control.

He gestured to his teammates to move away, and he wanted to decide the direction of the game in his own way from this position.

After the space was fully opened up, James suddenly lowered his center of gravity, his feet firmly planted on the ground, as if he wanted to concentrate all the power of the entire court into his body.

He accelerated to the right and broke through without any unnecessary movements or fake moves. He relied entirely on his physical fitness to break through Robinson.

Robinson's lateral movement speed is fast among centers, but he is at a disadvantage against James who plays as a small forward.

James' breakthrough was as fast as lightning, and his speed, strength and skills were fully demonstrated at this moment.

Faced with James' tough breakthrough, Robinson quickly lost his defensive position. He could only watch James rush towards the basket like a cheetah.

However, at this moment, Porzingis came to the assisting defense position in advance. He was like a mobile fortress, waiting for James' arrival.

There was a determination and persistence in Porzingis' eyes. He was ready to collide hard with James. He wanted to use his body to block James' attack.

However, at this critical moment, James made an unexpected decision.

He did not choose to force a shot, but instead passed the ball to Davis who was following him two steps away from the basket.

The pass passed through the defense like a precise guided missile and landed accurately in Davis' hands.

After receiving the ball, Davis jumped into the three-second zone, ready to attack like a tiger ready to pounce.

He jumped up with both feet, his body drew a perfect arc in the air, and his eyes revealed a desire and determination for victory.

At this time, Robinson had returned to the basket and stood in front of it like a guardian angel.

However, facing Davis's strong offense, his explosiveness is indeed not as good as Davis'.

Robinson tried his best to block the shot, but his arms were as weak as branches that could not reach the sky.

They could only watch Davis make a two-handed dunk. At that moment, the entire stadium seemed to be boiling.

The Lakers fans cheered and a smug smile appeared on James' face.

At this moment, a precise pass and a tacit cooperation can often determine the direction of the game better than an individual fight.

Porzingis seemed a little annoyed, knowing that he had lost an opportunity to stop James' attack in this round.

At this time, there were only 38 seconds left in the first quarter. The Nets chose to grab an offensive round, hoping to break the deadlock at this critical moment and set the tone for the next game.

After Rose dribbled across half court, his eyes revealed a firmness and determination.

He knew that this offensive round was crucial for the Nets.

Rose gestured to his teammates to run a tactic, his fingers drawing graceful arcs in the air, as if he was conducting a silent symphony.

His teammates immediately understood his intention and began to move quickly, looking for the best attacking opportunity.

With about 30 seconds left in the game, Duncan Luo used a screen to successfully create an opportunity to run 45 degrees on the right.

His figure broke the silence on the court like a flash of lightning, causing a flaw in the Lakers' defense.

Seeing this, Ross immediately passed the ball.

His pass was like a precise guided missile, landing accurately in Dun Luo's hands.

After receiving the ball, Duncan made a three-pointer without any hesitation.

However, the basketball drew an imperfect arc in the air and ultimately missed the target.

The rebound was protected by Davis, who guarded the basket like a beast, not allowing any attack to succeed easily.

After Davis landed, he immediately passed the ball to James.

After James dribbled through half court, he stopped near the center circle.

He dribbled the ball slowly, waiting for time to pass.

There was a calmness and composure in his eyes, as if everything was under his control.

With about 24 seconds left in the 5-second offensive time, Davis came up to screen for James.

His figure was like a mobile fortress, providing strong support for James' offense.

At the same time, James moved, advancing quickly in the direction of Davis.

Porzingis was afraid that Davis would continue to cut, so he kept retreating behind him.

He watched Davis' every move like a cheetah, not giving him any chance to break through.

LeVert, who is responsible for defending James, also knows that once James rushes forward, he will definitely not be able to defend himself.

He also shrank within the three-point line. Obviously, everyone thought that James would choose to break through.

However, at this moment, James made an unexpected decision.

When he dribbled outside the three-point line, he suddenly stopped.

His movements were as fast as lightning, catching everyone off guard.

James looked down at his right hand, then decisively took a three-point shot.

With a swish sound, the basketball hit the net!

In the final moments of the first quarter, the Lakers tied the score with James' three-pointer!

This goal broke the silence on the field like a flash of lightning, amazed everyone.

There was a sense of pride and confidence in James' eyes, and he proved the strength of the Lakers with his actions.

Moreover, James used up 24 seconds in this round, leaving the Nets with 5.5 seconds left for offense.

The Nets' last attack in the first quarter was like a boulder hanging on the edge of a cliff, which would fall into the abyss if they were not careful.

At this moment, Porzingis stood at the baseline. He took a deep breath and quickly passed the ball to Rose in front of him.

After Rose received the ball, he quickly advanced to the front court like a cheetah catching its prey.

His footsteps were light and powerful, as if every step was in rhythm.

However, Rondo was like a stubborn stone, blocking his way forward.

Rondo reacted very quickly, stepped forward immediately and provided close defense to Rose.

There was not much time left at this time, and Rondo was very clear about his mission.

He just needs to follow Rose, give him enough interference, and make sure not to foul.

His eyes were like two sharp knives, closely watching Ross's every move.

Rose was preparing to complete the dribble with a front-body change of direction, which is his specialty.

However, this time he failed to fool Rondo.

Rondo stuck to Rose like a shadow, and his defense was as solid as a solid wall of steel.

No matter how Rose changed direction or broke through, he could not get rid of Rondo's entanglement.

The two of them walked all the way to the Lakers' half, and saw that time was running out.

It was definitely too late to pass the ball to his teammates at this time, and Rose could only force a jump shot against Rondo's defense.

In order to avoid Rondo's block, Rose made an amazing folding pull-up move in the air.

His body twisted and folded like a balloon floating in the air, and finally threw the ball into the basket.

You can imagine how difficult such a shot is.

With a bang, the basketball hit the basket and bounced high, but missed.

At the same time, the red light on the timer just came on.

The first quarter was almost over and the Nets' last attack missed.

At this point, the first quarter ended.

The two teams tied with a score of 26:26.

The score hangs between the two teams like a delicate balance point, making it impossible to predict the next trend.

However, this is the charm of the finals, full of unknowns and variables, making it impossible to resist its charm.

The Nets players gathered together, their eyes revealing a kind of determination, knowing that the upcoming game will be more intense and more cruel.

However, they are also aware of their own strength and believe that as long as they unite as one and work hard, they will be able to defeat the Lakers and win.

The Lakers players also did not let their guard down. They knew that the Nets were a strong team and should not be underestimated.

They must remain calm and composed in order to gain the upper hand in this fierce competition. (End of this chapter)
